Umbrella Arts Center to host free virtual concert
COURTESY OF THE UMBRELLA ARTS CENTER
The Umbrella Arts Center will present Here Comes The Sun, a free virtual concert production by The Umbrella Stage Company at 8 p.m. May 14.
The concert features music and original poetry that thematically revisits the moments that defined the year that was and celebrates all that is ahead. Filmed in person following COVID-19 safety protocols at the Umbrella’s recently constructed theater facilities in Concord, it is the organization’s first fully produced music production to be presented entirely online.
Returning Umbrella Stage Company performers include Jess Andra, Vanessa Calantropo, Dwayne P. Mitchell, Kara Chu Nelson and Anthony Pires, Jr. under musical direction of David Wright. They are joined by poets SarahMae and Xinef Afriam, who created original poetry for the event.
